The chili cheese fries are definitely the highlight--loaded up, messy, and really good hot. The cheeseburgers are pretty good, old-school diner style, and they get the job done when you're hungry and watching football. For 25 bucks, it's a solid amount of food to share or split with someone during the game. Plenty of parking in their private parking lot. Service was very friendly & fast. Good spot if you're in Ontario and need a casual meal for game day without spending a ton.

I was very disappointed with my experience at Tom's Burgers. I specifically ordered my burger with…read moreno onions and no tomatoes, but it came with both. On top of that, the burger tasted stale, like it had been sitting out for quite a while instead of being made fresh. The fries were also cold and stale, which made the meal even more disappointing. Overall, the food quality was poor, and my order wasn't prepared correctly. I expected a fresh meal and better attention to my request, but unfortunately, this visit did not meet those expectations. I will never be ordering from them again.

Rating: 5 / 5 stars…read more Eat Fantastic has easily become one of our go-to spots as a family! The food quality is top-notch, the prices are very fair, and feeding our family of four for around $50-$60 is a total win these days. What We Love: *Mains & Secret Menu: Their burgers and chicken sandwiches are consistently on point. Honestly, every time I go, I struggle to decide what to get because the Chicken Sando, Fantastic Burger, and Chicken Melt are all amazing. Plus, they have a secret menu--I've tried the Smashed Double Melt, and it quickly became one of my absolute favorites! *Specialty Fries & Sides: They offer a huge variety of loaded fries, including buffalo chicken, animal-style, and garlic fries. But their "LA Staple Fries" (topped with chili cheese and pastrami) are hands-down my number-one favorite. The zucchini fries are also fantastic. *Breakfast & Salads: They have a surprisingly large breakfast menu. The breakfast burrito was actually really filling--and that's not something I say very often! The kids always go for the pancakes and eggs. If you want something lighter, their Chicken Caesar Salad is delicious and comes in a great portion size. *Drinks & Extras: They serve really solid, classic milkshakes that hit the spot. They also offer beer options if you're looking for an adult beverage (though I don't drink myself). They also have a great-looking chicken tender meal option on the main menu that I haven't gotten to try yet, but it's on my list for next time. Service & Vibe: The customer service here is great--we've never had a bad experience. The seating area is clean and comfortable, and we've never had a single complaint. Unbeatable value for the quality

We order from Burger City's Old Torrance location about 1-2 times a month since it's nearby…read more The location is great--clean, with good service. Their burgers are pretty good, although I feel they were even better in the past. I used to go to their Lomita location (which has since become a different restaurant), and I remember the burgers being served on brioche buns that really stood out in taste. I'm a big fan of fresh-made burgers rather than fast-food style places, and I don't mind paying a bit more for something made fresh. Their menu has great options overall, and the lunch box is a solid value for the price. The homemade onion rings are especially good. The only issue I consistently have with this location is the fries. I've never received crispy fries here. There is now an option to request "crispy / well-done" fries when ordering online, but it doesn't apply to all menu items, and it still doesn't seem consistent. What I usually receive are soft, oily fries that end up tasting more like steamed potatoes, which I personally can't enjoy. I don't think most people would prefer fries served that way over crispy ones, so I really hope they can improve on this part of the menu.

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

Respectfully this review may sound harsh but it's 1000% truth…read more The burger...eww. Why? Low grade, FOUL smelling Jennio-O caliber meat quality at best. And desert dry at that. If you're okay with this, then have at it. But just remember this review when you smell this under seasoned chunk of rancid meat you just spent your hard earned money on. The first thing I noticed cutting into this burger was the scent. It was FOUL. And then I instantly remembered why it has been 2 years since I visited this place. Same experience. This meat cannot be fresh whatsoever. It stinks. But to no surprise, it mirrors the poor quality of the fries (mid at best) and the knock off hidden valley ranch disguised as a house ranch you have to pay extra for. TBH the idea of a burger spot specializing in turkey burgers is really unique and opens up options that are both simple and satisfying. However, the turkey-- where you buy it, how you store it and the overall quality is the star of the show, and this ain't it. Simply put, it's not for me. I could not eat this food. Not to mention I feel there is a bit of deflection on the workers part when a concern is politely brought to their attention. The food, guaranteed IS NOT FRESH. I recommend Chinollo across the street. Fresh, high quality and juicy farm raised meats paired with equally high quality sides made in house (not frozen), fresh veg, fresh hand cut fries, house made sodas, milk teas and teas; nothing reeks of left over food being sold at ransom prices

The Big Burger!

You have to salt your fries yourself. And they're delicious.

We were thrilled to see a few menu options that were marked as vegan. Bonus points for being affordable! I completely missed their attached parking lot when I arrived and ended up parking across the street in the neighborhood, where there was ample free parking. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full and there was live music occurring on the patio. We opted to sit inside where it was a little less noisy and there was a comfy and cozy booth calling our name. The vibe was great, with fun and eclectic decor. The service was really upbeat and friendly and our server was so kind and helpful. We asked him if the espresso martini had dairy in it (which I just discovered that is a thing at some places) and he double checked with the bartender to ensure there wasn't my dairy in it! I ordered that alongside a falafel wrap I must say, both of these worked so well together. The espresso martini was light and refreshing yet still had a bold flavor. The falafel was nice and crispy with a delectable inside and the tahini sauce was so rich and creamy. The meal felt indulgent yet hearty all at the same time. I left feeling so uplifted and relaxed all at the same time. Despite it being on the noisier side, I was still able to hear my friend well and it was such a great place for us to catch up. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

I ordered the pastrami on rye (basically a Reuben) which was good. I wish it had more meat and it was half sliced, half chopped. Theirs seems to be all chopped up and crisped, which gives it a nice texture and almost bacon-y vibe. Messy but good. I had a side salad which was also good. Overall our meal was great and there were TVs visible from anywhere you sat, which is perfect for a sports bar. My big gripe is being charged $1 for pickles to go with a sandwich. Maybe you get more if they put them directly on the sandwich, but they forgot mine so the pickles came in a ramekin. 6 pickle slices for $1.

Go Raiders! They lost.

I phoned in a Breakfast Burrito. Sausage and Bacon with Salsa on the side. They told me it would be ready in 5-10 minutes. I swing by the drive through (which is oddly enough backwards) and pick it up. As I was in a hurry, I didn't check it until I got to work. I got a Bacon Breakfast Burrito with the works. It had Pico De Gallo and I HATE onions!! Sad to say, I threw it away. I've been there before for lunch and their burgers are good.
